Abstract
AbstractThe management of heritage buildings presents complex challenges for local authorities regarding repair methods, the selection of materials and post-repair impacts. Restoring the function of heritage buildings is often still constrained by commercialisation and the problem of maintaining sociocultural values. This raises an important question, what approach strategy is most suitable for maintaining the characteristics of heritage building in the long term? Here, we present a case study with a materials laboratory test strategy for a heritage building in Semarang. The parties involved include local authorities, architects, heritage building experts and academics. Three technical assessments are conducted, namely, materials analysis using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and brick compression and paint adhesion tests. This study provides an overview of the strategic approach from the aspects of measuring, interpreting and providing the best solutions for the material elements of heritage buildings in the future. The results promote improving heritage buildings on the basis of stakeholder mapping and building materials improvement strategies. This research contributes to local authorities in arranging heritage buildings with technical considerations in line with the characteristics of the building and development programs that consider local knowledge.KeywordsStrategyRefurbishmentHeritage
